@Thomcraft; nice shiftingplate with that magicball
@Zogster; nice camelcolor(?) interior the woodknob fits nice with it!

Thomcraft, that gated shifter plate is beautiful too... Does it shift pretty natually through the gates? The knob is cool too.

I always like the look of a Ferrari shift plate, obviously the shift throw isn't as short as a Ferrari. I did a lot of measuring and pattern making out of 1/4 inch plywood until I got it right then 1/4 inch bass polished and chromed. Nearly impossible to miss a gear.

I just let this one go on ebay. It was really cool that it had the matching key chain!

Wow, I just saw this post, Thomcraft. Any chance you'd be willing to make another one of these or post up the schematics? I'd love to put this in my Roadster!

Thomcraft hasn't checked in here in almost two years. Shame though, beside the shift plate he did a really cool steering wheel mod. The craft in his screen name was well earned!
